    Is this a decent dry suit?

    +1 for what BS said I tried to google Gates Pro-TDX (350) and all I got was dead-end links on the few found pages. So no informtion about what this drysuit may have initially cost. Add to this what BS already mentioned about possible problems - and adding to that likely no support from the...

    Wing drying

    Use the rear dump valve (either by pulling it, either by unscrewing it). If it is assembled with the tanks (I hardly disassemble the wing-doubles set) you will need to put it on a chair, mostly for convenience. If it is disassembled (i.e. no tank attached) it should be farely easy to lift the...

    Compass: digital versus analog

    Years ago I had the digital compass from Uwatec (which was a unit on its own). Must say that I was not convinced. Very soon reverted back to an analog unit and using analog only since. When I saw the specs for the XDeep (which I would use as a backup) one of the points that took my attention...

    xDeep Black BT - anyone own one yet? post reviews & feedback here...

    DuboisP: Eh ben .. Ce ne sera donc pas demain que j'achèterai un XDeep (Sorry, free translation: if that's the situation for the XDeep (that the GF are hardoded), then I will wait for a while before buying an XDeep)

    New "Advanced Diver" sea sick the whole time!

    I usually don't get sea/motion sick, so I am less in the preventive camp (even so I agree that if you are sensitive to getting sea sick, preventive medicine is a way to go). Unfortunately, occasionally it also happens to me to get seasick. My experience is that the best way is then to "feed the...

    Questions about doubles

    As you are going to buy both your "normal/single" now and expect to buy your doubles rig in a not so far future, here are my two cents contribution. Upgrading from a single tank to a double is possible but not very interesting, because the only cash benefit is with the cost of the tank...

    How many of you have had a dive computer fail?

    I had two Uwatec before the current Petrel (and Suunto, as backup). The two Uwatec "died" when battery was end of life. The Petrel has always been working fine and so does the Suunto (even so I would prefer to have a second Petrel as backup). So, no computer failure in 17 years of diving...

    Pics of 1st BP/W setup - anything wrong??

    What's wrong: its missing a wing ... But, ok, you'll get it on Tuesday. If you repost with a wing - and as SC sad, you wearing it - it will be easier to comment. I would (probably) add a second set of D-rings on the shoulder straps.

    Article: Shearwater Announces Nitrox Recreational Mode for Petrel

    @HowardE: thanks - used indeed Tapatalk, will try on a browser. However are wondering as one thread opened in Tapatalk. Is there an issue with cut length of links or similar in Tapatalk? My experience with previous linke was, that they usually worked.

    petrel nitrox recreational mode

    Maybe I am missing something, however after having checked the website of Shearwater Research, there is an update for the PREDATOR firmware, dated on 12-03-2014, while the PETREL firmware v1.2 dates from April 2013. If there is an announcement for the PETREL, where can I find it?

    Man rescued from submerged car sues dive team.

    While I do not want to comment on the sue issue, one phrase stroke me a bit: Ortiz was able to find a small air bubble in the back of his car where Ferszt said his client spent two hours waiting to be rescued. What is the SAC rate (or better O2 consumption as used air returns to the bubble)...

    Thermal Undergarment

    All depends on where you will dive and how regular and how long you will dive. The "where" is to identify how cold the water can get and how long the winter (cold water period) lasts The "how regular" will identify whether it is worth making the investment of going for some more adapted...

    Backup Wrist Computer

    Taking into account that you are a recreational diver diving in vacation only, I would suggest you to have a backup (provided you want to make the investment) which is very similar to your main for the following reasons: (1) avoid misreadings. the displays and functions will vary by model and...

    Tropical light <=$300?

    DiveInn has actually on offer for a 1500 lumen light for just under 100€ (well it is limited in time and runs only for an extra 10 hours). They state that the price is a 44% off the normal retail price...
